The South Korean military has found a former army general guilty of “general treason” for his role in a covert drone operation into North Korea in Oct. 2024, which authorities allege aimed to justify then-South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol’s short-lived martial law declaration.
A military committee determined that Counterintelligence Command Chief Lt. Gen. Yeo In-hyung conspired with Yoon and former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun in the “Pyongyang drone infiltration operation,” according to a disciplinary resolution obtained by Democratic Party lawmaker Choo Mi-ae.
